    PLEASE PLEASE

    http://www.theverge.com/2013/4/5/418...t-announcement

    Google and the City of Austin, Texas have sent out invites for a press conference for "a very important announcement" next week, according to VentureBeat, and it is expected that the two will reveal that the city will be the next to receive Google Fiber. VentureBeat cites "multiple sources" that tell the website that the announcement will revolve around Google's gigabit internet service, but it's possible that the event will reveal some other partnership, like a new Google campus.

    Honestly, as amazing as it is, I'm thrilled with my internet right now and I don't really pine for anything better. Of course if GF came to the Bay I'd buy it in a heartbeat but as for now, I'm pretty happy with how fast mine is currently.

    The only thing I wish would be better about my connection is my ping, 100mb is indeed fast enough.

    The reason that no one can use a 1gb connection is because no one wants to create a product for non-existing infrastructure. Remember web pages in the 90s that were all text because even a lot of photos took up bandwidth? As soon as the bandwidth increased, so did the content. I'm not saying that suddenly 300mb webpages will spring up overnight, but now that the foundations are being laid, it's going to happen eventually.

    I wonder if gigabit ATT could mean that U-verse wouldn't be so horribly compressed. That might be worth it.
